• Design secure ingress, egress, east‑west traffic flows, network segmentation, and Zero Trust connectivity controls.
• Support application delivery, load balancing, TLS/SSL inspection, reverse proxy, and secure application‑access architectures.
• Perform advanced troubleshooting using packet captures, full packet capture, flow telemetry, route analysis, firewall logs, BGP state, and Azure‑native diagnostic tools.
• Troubleshoot asymmetric routing, SNAT exhaustion, route propagation, overlapping networks, DNS, connectivity, and performance issues.
• Develop reusable Terraform Infrastructure as Code modules and standardized network deployment patterns.
• Produce architecture diagrams, implementation plans, network/security documentation, runbooks, and as‑built configurations.
• Lead technical design reviews, implementation efforts, troubleshooting sessions, and network modernization initiatives.
• Collaborate with cloud, cybersecurity, ICAM, application, DevOps, and infrastructure engineering teams.
• Apply Zero Trust, least privilege, segmentation, defense‑in‑depth, and network‑security principles across customer environments.

Required Qualifications:

• CompTIA Security+
• 8+ years of enterprise infrastructure, networking, cloud, or network‑security engineering experience.
• 4+ years of hands‑on Microsoft Azure or cloud networking engineering experience.
• Strong knowledge of TCP/IP, BGP, DNS, routing, switching, subnetting, NAT, VPN, segmentation, and enterprise WAN architectures.
• Strong experience with Azure VNets, peering, UDRs, NSGs, Private Link, Private DNS, ExpressRoute, VPN Gateway, and Azure Firewall.
• Experience designing and operating hub‑and‑spoke, landing‑zone, hybrid‑cloud, and multi‑network Azure architectures.
• Experience with enterprise network‑security technologies including NGFWs, network segmentation, secure ingress/egress, and Zero Trust principles.
• Hands‑on experience with F5 BIG‑IP, including LTM, application delivery, load balancing, or comparable application‑delivery technologies.
• Experience with SD‑WAN technologies such as Versa, Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortinet, or comparable enterprise platforms.
• Experience troubleshooting complex environments using packet capture, flow telemetry, routing tables, firewall logs, BGP analysis, and Azure Network Watcher or Monitor tools.
• Understanding of high availability, asymmetric routing, SNAT, forced tunneling, route propagation, and network resiliency concepts.
• Experience with Terraform, Infrastructure as Code, PowerShell, Azure CLI, APIs, or similar network automation technologies.
